Executive summary

Pfizer is a global biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops and supplies medicines and vaccines. Its portfolio includes the pneumococcal vaccine Prevnar, the blood thinner Eliquis, the cancer medicine Ibrance and a COVID vaccine and antiviral treatment, plus products in inflammation and rare disease. It also added cancer medicines through its purchase of Seagen. Customers are wholesalers, hospitals, pharmacies and governments.

Revenue of $63.7 billion over the last twelve months comes from patented medicines and vaccines. Revenue has changed at -14.8% a year across the last three years, a sharp decline. The operating margin is 10.8%, the business earns 4% on the capital invested in it, and net debt is 4.1 times EBITDA. The dividend yield is 5.8%.

StocksXray gives Pfizer Inc an X-Ray Score of 27 out of 100 (high confidence), ahead of 8% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is dividends (50) and its weakest is growth (4).

Our fair value blend is $15.76 (range $15.02 to $17.17). At $29.58 the stock trades 88% above that blend, so the label is "Overvalued" with high model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

How to read this report

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report. Educational research, not financial advice; read the disclaimer.
